No error anymore, working expected. After restart the fan spins get quiet after a short time :)

Thank you. You just need to exchange this fix here https://github.com/useful64/build/commit/b9f17bdffa24cc3309dc20de487aaa19bb5c481d -> ATTR{name}=="cpu|cpu_thermal", ENV{IS_HELIOS64_HWMON}="1", ENV{HELIOS64_SYMLINK}="/dev/thermal-cpu" is missing above et voila ls -l /dev/thermal-cpu/ total 0 device -> ../../thermal_zone0 subsystem -> ../../../../../class/hwmon temp1_crit temp1_input uevent so the working /etc/udev/rules.d/90-helios64-hwmon.rules looks like # Helios64 persistent hwmon ACTION=="remove", GOTO="helios64_hwmon_end" # KERNELS=="p6-fan", SUBSYSTEMS=="platform", ENV{_HELIOS64_FAN_}="p6", ENV{_IS_HELIOS64_FAN_}="1", EN> KERNELS=="p7-fan", SUBSYSTEMS=="platform", ENV{_HELIOS64_FAN_}="p7", ENV{_IS_HELIOS64_FAN_}="1", EN> KERNELS=="2-004c", SUBSYSTEMS=="i2c", DRIVERS=="lm75", ENV{IS_HELIOS64_HWMON}="1" KERNELS=="thermal_zone0", SUBSYSTEMS=="thermal", ENV{IS_HELIOS64_HWMON}="1" SUBSYSTEM!="hwmon|thermal", GOTO="helios64_hwmon_end" ENV{HWMON_PATH}="/sys%p" # ATTR{type}=="soc-thermal", ENV{HWMON_PATH}="/sys%p/temp", ENV{HELIOS64_SYMLINK}="/dev/thermal-cpu/t> ATTR{name}=="cpu", ENV{IS_HELIOS64_HWMON}="1", ENV{HELIOS64_SYMLINK}="/dev/thermal-cpu" ATTR{name}=="cpu|cpu_thermal", ENV{IS_HELIOS64_HWMON}="1", ENV{HELIOS64_SYMLINK}="/dev/thermal-cpu" # ENV{IS_HELIOS64_HWMON}=="1", ATTR{name}=="lm75", ENV{HELIOS64_SYMLINK}="/dev/thermal-board" ENV{_IS_HELIOS64_FAN_}=="1", ENV{HELIOS64_SYMLINK}="/dev/fan-$env{_HELIOS64_FAN_}" # ENV{IS_HELIOS64_HWMON}=="1", RUN+="/bin/ln -sf $env{HWMON_PATH} $env{HELIOS64_SYMLINK}" LABEL="helios64_hwmon_end"

Dear allen--smithee, thank you for taking you time! Yes, indeed the service won't start automatic after a reboot status fancontrol.service shows these errors: Error: file /dev/fan-p5/pwm1 doesn't exist Error: file /dev/thermal-cpu/temp1_input doesn't exist Error: file /dev/thermal-cpu/temp1_input doesn't exist I could fix it with sudo ln -s /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0 /dev/thermal-cpu and then starting the service manual but after a reboot it's gone I don't understand how I can apply it permantent fancontrol.service ● fancontrol.service - fan speed regulator Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/fancontrol.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/fancontrol.service.d └─pid.conf Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2022-09-16 17:53:17 UTC; 4s ago Docs: man:fancontrol(8) man:pwmconfig(8) Process: 3011 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/fancontrol --check (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 3144 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/fancontrol (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 3144 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CPU: 1.362s Sep 16 17:53:17 helios64 fancontrol[3144]: AVERAGE=1 Sep 16 17:53:17 helios64 fancontrol[3144]: Error: file /dev/fan-p5/pwm1 doesn't exist Sep 16 17:53:17 helios64 fancontrol[3144]: Error: file /dev/thermal-cpu/temp1_input doesn't exist Sep 16 17:53:17 helios64 fancontrol[3144]: Error: file /dev/thermal-cpu/temp1_input doesn't exist Sep 16 17:53:17 helios64 fancontrol[3144]: At least one referenced file is missing.

I just use the Usb-backup plugin. I tried the upgrade but had some errors which I couldn't solve ending up in installing the latest bullseye image from here https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/helios64/archive/ first to SD then to eMMC and then the system to a SSD while booting from eMMC - which works now really good again with having actual OMV6. The only trouble is that I won't get the fan quiet Thank you allen--smithee for your modification which doesn't work for me, sorry! I can only manual set it quiet with Daniel Helios64 commands echo 70 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1 echo 70 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon6/pwm1

Is there any way to lower the fans permanently also after a reboot maybe in /etc/fancontrol?

Thank you for your input! It would be really nice to collect some experience concerning the upgrade in this thread!

Dear Forum, I am using a Helios64 with armbian Debian 10 (Buster) Linux-Kernel 5.15.52 and OMV 5.6.26-1. If I want to have further Updates from OMV I need to upgrade to Debian 11, because OMV6 isn't compatible to Buster. Any recomendations how I should upgrade? The H64-System is on a SDD. Should I try a cli system upgrade or installing everything new with a bullseye image, if this is available (Where?)? Best wishes, Greg

Dear H64-Friends, I've got the Armbian Debian installed with Linux Kernel 5.10 and Open Media Vault (OMV). I just use the basic functions for backing up files, nothing extraordinary. I am wondering what's the best strategy to update the Helios64 system concerning stability and getting no errors for backing up files (automatic USB-Backups). Keep it always up to date if there's an update available in OMV? Or just wait some weeks?

Dear Forum! If you are using Emmc as boot device, a M.2-ssd as system device and OMV is installed. You can backup with the OMV given image-backup (dd, fsarchiver). But how you can restore the backup? You need to boot from Sdcard (boot and system from sd)? And after that you can switch again back to emmc-boot and ssd-system without any issue? Is there any other easier way i.e. with CloneZilla to image-backup/restore? How you can do this?
